Coinbase has secured final approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish Coinbase National Trust Company. The approval follows conditional authorization granted in April and allowing Coinbase to expand its institutional digital asset custody services under direct federal supervision.
The company can now safeguard digital assets for institutional clients within a federally regulated framework, but it does not authorize to operate as a traditional commercial bank, accept retail deposits, or provide conventional loans. Coinbase joins other major crypto firms, including Ripple and Circle, that have secured federal trust charter.
